I have Aspergers but I get questioned a lot if I tell people I have it, they simply will not believe it. I think it really has to do with people's idea of autism. I have tons of interests but I'm too lazy to do much with them. Then I cannot have Aspergers because they have one interest that they are driven to do all the time. Also one thing I get a lot is "but, but you're NICE!". I don't know even what to say to that. Did they expect a monster? I care a lot about people, I do volunteer work and the sorts, and I help people out when I can. For some reason aspies should be selfish. And I don't live up to that. And they say "but you're so social!". Eh... really? I look you in the eye on occasion not to appear rude, I can't initiate a conversation, I often drift off in my own thoughts while you talk, but still I'm social? Can't they sense I'd rather be somewhere else? I guess nodding and smiling really does the trick.
One funny thing, I was asked what my savant skill was. Um yea, like I have one.
Still, other aspies seem to recognize me, in a way I find some comfort in that.
